A dear friend of mine recently celebrated her 90th birthday. To commemorate the occasion, I made her a little card. Why not a cute little pink birthday bunny overjoyed to celebrate the milestone?
Of course, if I came across a real pink bunny tossing flowers in the air with a candle balanced on its head on my birthday, I probably would run in the other direction screaming. But that’s just me.
Once in awhile I doodle on the back of envelopes. When it comes to this, I’m certainly no Abraham Lincoln who famously scribbled The Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope. No, instead I doodle more inspired things like this little leopard…

Earlier this year a friend talked me into joining Instagram. I was apprehensive at first because it was going to be yet another thing to update constantly, but when I took a look and saw all the amazing creativity there, it felt like I should have joined that party long ago. So, I got on my computer and joined it, not realizing that the only way to post was to do so from a mobile device. As a non-mobile phone user, this complicated things.
Well, I got it worked out, and have been posting lots of art there. While some drawings only make it to Instagram, some also get posted here on the ol’ blog. So, I invite you to check it out if you also are an Instagram user, and follow me there. My handle is ChadFrye_IllustrationGuy (naturally), and you can get to it by CLICKING HERE!

Today’s sketch was a little something I created on the first page of a sketchbook I gave to a friend’s niece. She is a creative 10-year-old, so why not make a little gift of something to encourage her with her art!
The sketchbook is your regular ol’ white-paged book and the drawing was inked in it with a brush pen with just a splash of yellow watercolor to define the honey. I just decided to goose it a little digitally by scanning it into Photoshop, dropping it onto some brown Canson paper, and then adding some modest highlights and shadows on the bear.

Nuthin’ says “good job” like a high five with your teammate! OH YEAH!
And that’s the end of Max Visits the Hospital! Hope you enjoyed it. Even with a couple of years to reflect on it, I’m pretty happy with the results of this two-week rush job! It was a fun challenge. I believe I finished it late one night, and the next morning I was on a plane off on a long-planned trip. Got it done by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!
Now for the final word on what this book was actually selling when it was handed out at that 2014 convention for which it was created!

Those are some pretty happy customers. Now the kids are back playing with their toy, which might actually be how it came to be broken in the first place.

“Gimme that doohicky, STAT!” (No, I do not have an intimate knowledge of x-ray machine parts. 1. I made up that part, and 2. I’m pretty sure that is not a real x-ray machine design. However, walking talking iPads definitely are real.)
